Playing Scrabble Board Game

It's unimaginable that a 6-year old child is expected to know many words and phrases back in 70's. During my kindergarten times, we were only taught the alphabet and numerals from 1-20. We were not expected to form words or construct simple sentences or do simple addition and subtraction.

This is no longer the case now. In pre-school education, these children are usually enrolled since the age of 3 or 4 years old starting from the nursery level, progressing to K1 and K2. They are expected to know the alphabet at the age of 4, and be able to read and construct simple sentences by 6 years old. Numeracy skill such as simple addition and subtraction is something expected of them before entering Primary 1.

Playing the Scrabble board game is one of the way I try to improve my child vocabulary. This morning, we had a game and these are some of the words we formed.



This is also a good way to foster parent-child relationship. I am sure the children will appreciate the time we shared with them.
